Daniele Ganser wrote that Donald Trump spoke on the phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin on October 9, 2026, and agreed with him on extensive diesel deliveries. Russia is supposed to provide more than 300,000 tons of diesel for the world market and the USA in October, and an additional 500,000 tons in November. Ganser interpreted this as the lifting of US sanctions against Russian diesel. Ganser cited Trump's domestic political pressure due to high diesel prices before the congressional elections on November 3, 2026, as the reason for the move. The economic war of the USA and the EU had not forced Russia to its knees, he wrote. Instead, the populations in the USA and the EU were suffering from high energy prices because they had cut themselves off from Russian oil and gas. Ganser advocated for Germany to end the economic war against Russia, to resume imports of Russian natural gas and oil, and to repair the Nord Stream pipelines. Chancellor Friedrich Merz does not want this and continues to beat the war drums, while high energy prices heavily burden Germany, Ganser wrote. #Wirtschaftskrieg #Energiekrise #Russland (translated)

The account BrennpunktUA stated that the US Congress is planning to block an energy deal between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. Republican Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick announced that a bipartisan coalition would soon introduce a bill aimed at prohibiting all purchases of Russian oil products.

According to Fitzpatrick, a vote in Plenary would be forced using a so-called "Discharge Petition" procedure, and the draft would be passed by an overwhelming majority.
